Compiling and installing an older module mitigate the problem in my situation.
Compiling the latest vanilla kernel doesn't solve the problem, the bug is still there in upstream.
The older module is available as Compat Wireless package version 2.0.14.
This package is downloadable in this page: http://alexit.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/rt2x00-2014-nuova-vita-ai-driver-wireless-ralink/
At the end of the post, before the comments, there is a link saying "compat-wireless-2.6-rt2×00-2.0.14.tar.bz2" that point to that old compat wireless package.
Download the package, extract it, type "make" and then "make unload" and "make load". In this way the older module will be loaded. For further instructions see here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Buildingandinstalling

This worked for me, hope this helps someone. Like i said before, the upstream bug is still present on vanilla kernel 2.6.26-rc4 and affect other distributions like fedora.
